Answered Questions (3)

Does this suds/foam or nothing?

Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser is formulated to produce a light lather upon application to effectively cleanse while preserving your skin’s natural moisture barrier. We hope this is helpful!

I have combination skin I was told u have too use gel cleanser is that tru is this ok too use

You may use either a gentle facial cleanser or gel cleanser depending on your specific skin type. Many combination skin types choose to use a gel cleanser in the summer and a gentle cleanser in the drier, colder months.

why is there sunscreen in a face wash?

Thank you for your inquiry. The Titanium Dioxide in Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser is not intended for sun protection and doesn't give the product an SPF rating. It's there more for its other properties, like soothing and thickening, rather than to block UV rays. You’ll still need a separate sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.

Very good, gentle cleanser

I have used Vanicream Gentle facial cleanser for years, on the recommendation of my dermatologist. It has been a permanent part of my cleansing routine for my sensitive skin.

Like this as a first wash to remove makeup.

I use this to remove makeup before using my Obagi Cleanser. Works great for this purpose and is a good price.

Vanicream facial cleanser

I’ve been having an extreme facial dermatitis episode. I have been using the cleanser to wash my face. It is very gentle, causes no tightness or dryness and just feels good. I would recommend this product to anyone having the same problem

Loyal User

I have purchased this facial cleanser many times over the last few years. It is very gentle yet effective enough to clean the face without stripping the skin. It has a nice, light foam consistency and is concentrated so a little goes a long way. Other foaming cleansers I have tried left my skin feeling dry but this one just leaves me feeling clean and balanced. Excellent price point too!

Vanicream facial cleanser

Have been using this cleanser and it works well, especially for sensitive skin and those that want to avoid some harsh chemicals. Convenient pump bottle with no mess like bar soap creates. No strong smell, and doesn't sting / irritate.

Good cleanser

This is a cleanser I always have on hand for dry, sensitive skin. It doesn’t remove makeup well but nourishes skin already cleansed- minus one star for that

Gentle for post-procedure

This is my go-to cleanser after getting Aerolase, microneedling, and peels. It is super gentle and doesn't leave a filmy feeling after I rinse my face.

On Every derm's tik tok

I have always had very oily and acne prone skin and before making clear skin a goal of mine this year and really educating myself I stayed away from anything gentle. I wanted everything I used to be acne targeted and oil free which probably had the reversed effect. Ever since trying this cleanser back in February I notice a difference in my skin. It's hydrated but not oily and the breakouts have cleared. I recommend this to anyone!

Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser

I had been using Purity Cleanser for 20+ years, but something changed. So I read the reviews on this Vanicream cleanser and thought I’d try it. I was not disappointed at all. It takes off makeup and sunscreen without making my skin feel stripped.

Great!

I have hyper sensitive, acne prone skin with rosacea, which poses challenges to find skincare that doesn't aggravate the skin. This cleanser is truly fragrance free and doesn't dry out your skin. It also throughly cleanses which is unusual for gentler products. Coupled with the great price and the fact you don't need to use much, it's a great buy!

I have used this for years

This is a gentle, creamy foaming cleanser. It leaves my skin clean and doesn't dry it. It doesn't sting if I get in my eyes. I have tried other brands (all my other skin care is medical grade), but prefer Vanicream cleanser.

WOW

Gentle only begins to describe this wonderful cleanser. I have sensitive skin and this cleanser does not irritate. Gentle...however it removes my foundation without any residue. I have ditched all of my expensive cleansers and only use this.

Gentle for post-procedure skin

I had a CO2 laser coupled with TCA Cross for my acne scarring and my derm told me to use a gently cleanser. He gave me a sample of this Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser to use. Out of all the gentle cleansers I've tried, this one gets the most "sudsy" without irritating my skin, and I feel that it gets almost all the dirt off my face. I love that it is inexpensive and a little can be used on the whole face. I switched over to using this twice a day after using a miceller water to remove sunscreen.

Gentle on my combo sensitive skin

I'm used to foaming cleansers, but this cleanser was a good change. It doesn't strip my skin and it is low fragrance. I pair this with my vanicream moisturizer. I recommend this product :)

Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser

Vanicream is a product recommended by my dermatologist and my allergist. It's very mild and I use it twice daily for a clean face. It's convenient in the pump bottle in my shower and small enough to take on a trip. A great product that I would tell a friend about.
